Method for positioning transverse cracks of carbon fiber composite material by using chirp grating

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for positioning transverse cracks of a carbon fiber composite material by using a chirp grating, which comprises the following steps of: (1) manufacturing a carbon fiber composite material cross-ply laminate with the stacking sequence of [0-degree 2 / 90-degree 4 / 0-degree 2], and embedding a chirp grating sensor into a 0-degree layer the carbon fiber composite material cross-ply laminate, wherein the chirp grating sensor is adjacent to a 90-degree layer; (2) under a condition with a constant temperature, using an optical fiber sensing analyzer to monitor a chirp grating reflection spectrum of a carbon fiber composite material test piece in a quasistatic tensile test; and (3) adjusting the length of the chirp grating to be accordant with a bandwidth phase of the chirp grating reflection spectrum before embedding in a coordinate system to ensure that a wavelength position corresponding to a point with decreased light intensity and a grating position corresponding to the wavelength in the chirp grating reflection spectrum are the positions where the transverse cracks are generated in the 90-degre layer of the composite material at that time. The method is simple, has a low cost, and can detect the transverse cracks in the carbon fiber composite material in real time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a non-destructive testing method, in particular to a method for locating transverse cracks in carbon fiber composite materials by using a chirped grating, and belongs to the field of material science. Background technique [0002] Carbon fiber composites are prone to various forms of damage such as cracks, fiber breakage, and delamination during service. Among them, transverse cracks in non-axial layers are the most likely damage mode. When the transverse crack density increases to a certain extent, it will induce The generation of other damage modes such as delamination eventually leads to structural failure. In order to ensure the safety of the structure, an effective structural health monitoring technology is needed, so that the crack generation and expansion of the composite structure can be monitored in real time before the accumulation of cracks reaches the threat to the structural safety, so as to ensure its safe operati...
